Bug Reporting Post (Post your gameplay bug/glitches here) [SPOILERS BUT NECESSARY]

[MikePrime13]

I'm trying to collect information as to what kind of gameplay bugs and/or glitches that forces people to revert save and/or start completely from scratch.

I think there is significant bugs/glitches that are cropping up organically as people play through the game.

Here's the format I propose to use: for each bug, we should share the location of the game (Vatican, Gizeh, etc.) where you encounter it for the first time, brief description of the bug, links to posts (if you posted it before either here, reddit, Bethesda etc), and solution.

This is obviously will be laden with spoilers, but at this point it's better to know rather than invest hours and hours of playing the game and hitting and/or triggering the bug.

I have not passed Vatican, but I encountered at least three noticeable bugs:

1. Vatican -- Key Quest Item Missing after Sidequest.

This one happened after the I recovered the Parchment from the Catacombs -- I went straight for the blackshirt sidequest instead of returning to Antonio, and subsequently tried to rescue the Assistant sidequest. At some point, the main quest item was overwritten by one of the keys I found during the sidequest, and therefore softlocking the game when I came back to see Antonio.

I was able to recover a save from a few hours prior (very annoying), and was able to pass through the main quest line without glitching.

2. Vatican -- Glitch on the Pharmacy Book Vendor.

This one happened after I solved the Parchment bug -- I collected at least 10 of the 15 medicine bottles, and I was only able to buy the book for the additional health, but everything else is locked out and said "need to talk to Valeria before unlocking", which I already did a few hours back at the beginning of the open world Vatican quest.

3. Vatican/General -- Photo Album Glitch.

This starts to happen after I rollback the save data. Photos taken prior to the rollback are now blanks -- as if the pointers for the photos are missing.

I'm also listing other gameplay/quest bugs reported by other players so far:
- Whip Bug
- Fountain Puzzle Bug
- Inscription Puzzle Bug (Cannot complete)
- Gina Bug at Vatican Museum

I think a central post that shares all the bugs reported would be helpful for MG and/or Bethesda to catalog them as they show up. It's a great game, but these bugs and/or glitches really hurt the playing experience.

i have bug sound 5.1 creative surround. i7 win 10 rtx 4070ti creative sound blaster x-fi 5.1. all drivers updated, Sounds and voices are not reproduced correctly (character on the right and voice on the left), sounds lost or poorly reproduced. I tried to check with the Behesda sound guide but the result doesn't change. I have installed other bethesda games ( wolfenstein - new order, old blood, the new colossus-, yes, I'm a fan of B.J, Blaskowitz) and the sound is reproduced perfectly.

After finishing the main story I am jumping trough different levels going for the 100% completion but after coming back from Shangai, the awfull fire cracking noises, planes dropping bombs etc from the area. chases Indy around the world. In Giza or the Vatican is constantly with you, no matter where you go, while in Marshall college is limited to the area where you find Locus at the beggining of the game.

Is really annoying, is not preciselly a small noise, it is impossible to really hear any other sounds or voices. Can't seem to fix it after fast travelling back and forth from Shangaito see if that fixed it, and I am about to just give up on the game at this stage because is impossible to focus on something other than the noise.

I found the solution! If the problem appeared after the sequence in Shanghai, open the game file > base > sound > soundbanks > pc > delete the two sound files associated with Shanghai.

I feel like this is such an obvious solution now but this worked! So far it's the only thing that has actually stopped the fire noise completely. I had to delete all audio files related to Shanghai rather then just the ambient noises but I have that area 100% finished already so not worried about having to go back. Thank you for the solution!

(seems this is the only "hack" to make it go away for now)

A few bugs here:

1. Can't take a picture of Sunan in Sukhothai.
2. Can't grab Jumbo Grip book in Sukhothai.
3. Can't get achivement Shadows of our time because apparentely you are supposed to have all 50 artifacts in your inventory before opening the door.
4. Missing note in Iraq.

In the Mak-Yek puzzle 2836 and 2386 should also be valid solutions.

While revisiting Gizeh, I was spawned in the corridor that leads to the room that the idol of Ra was originally in. You initially get dropped down there through a cut-scene after you fight the blind giant.
So, during a revisit of mine in order to collect one last remaining note, I spawned in there instead of the Gizeh village and that particular door that originally led to the idol is closed so there's nowhere you can go.
And this takes places after I've revisited Gizeh twice, before the game, for no reason whatsoever, threw me in there with no way out in sight. It's not the same place that other people appear to be stuck in.
Please refer to the screenshots provided below...

I'm having the same issue and so am not able to complete the Gizeh-Tasks when revisiting. I always end up in the cave shown in the pictures with no possibility to exit the cave and go back to the countryside.

So I had two quests to talk to Antonio again. One is to get a book he has for Catherine, this triggered a cutscene where he gives me a sewer key. The other quest is to show him the photos I took, Indy asks if he can use Antonio's magnifying glass but no prompt appears. I don't know if Catherine's quest and the related cutscene breaks the other quest. But I can in no shape or form show the photos first. I tried equipping them but no prompt appears, only to talk and trigger the cutscene.

Game breaking bug in Sukothai. Stuck in the room with spikes - mission - A Study In Fear. Cannot squeeze through gap

[ST0N3L3SS]

Not exactly game breaking, but quite annoying. Since having travelled back to Shanghai, I am encountering the sound of the blazing fire at random locations in Sukhothai.

Edit: I found now that it's not so much random locations as it is whenever I pull out the rebreather it seems to pin the blazing fire sound to that location. I move away from the location it quieta down and disappears, and I move back to the location it comes right back.

After finishing the main quest I went back to Sukothai and there Gina became a mess of a bug. She seems to be trapped in a loop, always shouting "Oh mein Gott, das war knapp" (I play the german sync). I think due to this I am not able to deliver the radio frequencies quest. This bug is pretty annoying, as she is shouting all the time.

Same Problem here, :critter: extrem annoying.

Same problem here.

Gleiches Problem bei mir mit deutscher Sprachausgabe. Es ist nervig ohne Ende.

[HH375mag]

After returning to Sukhothai from Iraq/completing the game, Gina now continuously repeats the same two lines "Oh God" "That was too close" every few seconds (the line she says after being captured by Voss). You are also no longer able to interact with her - so I am unable to complete the mission "Tune In". Restarting the game/level does not fix the issue.

Apologies I didn't know that this was so mentioned recently. But I agree I really hope that this issue is fixed as it is extremely frustrating/annoying.

I’m waiting for them to fix the bugged photo from Iraq. Right at the start of the location, I took the photo, but it didn’t count, so I don’t have 100%.

Got another field-note bug in Zukhothai doing the "exploding pit" quest ! study in fear. . at the end you pick up a note Annika's Research(really cant miss it), and if you check the Field Notes, icon is still on the map.
